Yeah, I truly believe anyone who ends up in psychotherapy is just a deeply unfortunate soul.
Donna Wood52 said:I’m struggling to find the right headline for this, but let me try to lay it out. I know this woman—maybe she’s 28, I don't know exactly—and look, she is stunning. I don't mean just "conventionally attractive," I mean truly, head-turning gorgeous. She has the kind of curves people dream about and a face straight off a Vogue cover. But—and this is the part where the story hits a wall—that is quite literally all she has. No boyfriend, let alone a husband; no college degree... basically, she lacks everything that modern American society tells a young person they "should" have to be considered successful. Yet, everywhere she goes, men are practically tripping over themselves to get her attention. I'm not sure if you see what I'm getting at here.
I met her during a group therapy session we were attending. It was one of those settings where everyone seems to be competing over their accomplishments—this guy was bragging about his career, that woman about her kids, another person about their grad school progress—and then there was her. When it was her turn to sit, she just let her thick hair down and crossed those long, beautiful legs. That was it. 😁
So, the question is: is someone like that actually happy? On one hand, looking that good has to count for something—men certainly notice—and I wouldn't call her stupid, either. She’s actually quite serious, and whenever we had these sessions, she’d offer some genuinely insightful advice. She isn't some vapid, self-absorbed airhead, despite appearances.
What I'm curious about is whether any of you have ever encountered someone like this—someone who possesses nothing to show for themselves except an incredible physical appearance?

Why on earth do you think you have nothing going for you? Is it an issue of looks? Really? Every single person has inherent value—it’s just a matter of finding where that lies within oneself. And if I recall correctly—and please correct me if I'm wrong—you mentioned you're financially stable, which means fewer headaches, plus you have a boyfriend... there's clearly something about you that someone loves...

and they never insult me. One of them actually told me I have beautiful, thick black hair and a great ass. 🙂
Donna Wood52 said:Look, I’m just not photogenic. So what if I’m being dishonest about it? It's not a crime.
And besides—what are you actually going to do with a photo of me? Develop a sudden distaste for my existence or something? 😁
I certainly am not about to dump my personal info and a picture of my face right here in front of everyone. If you're so eager to see it, why don't you go ahead and post yours first? ☕

Keith Thomas21 said:In my view, beauty can actually be more of a curse than a blessing for people like this. Because everyone is so preoccupied with admiring them, no one ever bothers to look past the surface to see their other qualities and strengths—which, I am certain, exist.
I once knew an exceptionally beautiful woman who suffered immensely because of it. She’s in her thirties now, and she still hasn't married or even maintained a long-term relationship. At her job, she deals with constant harassment from men and deep resentment from women. All she ever wanted was to just be ordinary.
Then again, looking at it from another angle, some women know exactly how to weaponize their beauty to get what they want. But to do that, you really have to be born without a heart and possess a staggering amount of ego.
ironpuma78 said:So, didn't melpy say not that we aren't talking about some imaginary airhead here?
And what if she doesn't have a fancy degree, a husband, or a boyfriend? Does that mean she has nothing going for her besides being attractive? Since when did those become the only criteria?
Clearly, she’s got substance and heart if she actually recognizes her issues and wants to fix them—which is why she’s going to group therapy, I assume. That shows more character than most "successful" people with Ivy League degrees ever possess.
Looking at how the women on this thread are reacting, it’s pretty obvious who is actually beautiful and who is just living in the shadows, bitter and waiting for her looks to fade so she can finally feel superior. Then they'll all start showing their true colors... pathetic. 👎
David Palmer5 said:Any girl who is struggling because she's "too pretty" could easily just go for a messy hairstyle, dye her hair an ugly color, throw on some baggy jeans and an oversized shirt, and skip the makeup entirely—and I guarantee nobody would notice her beauty. (Truthfully, I've never actually seen anyone do that).
Personally, I don't quite get why someone would suffer because they happen to be attractive. Or smart. Or funny. Or charming. Or talented.
I just don't buy that kind of "suffering."
